About Multani Kashi Tilework

Multani kashi-kari is the cobalt-blue glazed faience that clads the terracotta-brick domes and walls of the Shah Rukn-e-Alam tomb and the Sufi shrines of Multan. The surface reads as a deep lajvard field carrying white and turquoise floral-and-star motifs, with Quranic calligraphy reserved in white against the saturated blue glaze.

This design system distills that pre-1900 tile tradition into digital form: cobalt grounds as the dominant surface, copper-oxide turquoise accents, white-reserve highlights, and eight-point-star ornament — never the brick body beneath, always the glazed blue tile itself.
